A Study on Astigmatic Changes after Pterygium Excision with Conjunctival Limbal Autograft
Abstract: Purpose: To compare the Astigmatic changes before and after pterygium excision with conjunctival limbal autograft transplant. To observe for recurrence of pterygium after surgery. Methods: A prospective interventional study included 31 eyes of 31 patients diagnosed with pterygium. All participants underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival limbal autograft transplantation and were examined pre - operatively and post - operatively (1st month post intervention). Evaluation included best corrected visual acuity and corneal astigmatism. Paired t - test was used for statistical analysis. They were also followed up for 6 months and observed for recurrence. Results: There were 31 eyes of 31 patients aged 28 - 61 years. The mean age was 39.096 ? 12.38 years. The mean value of pre - operative astigmatism was 1.177 ? 1.02 D Cylinder while that for post - operative astigmatism was 0.58 ? 0.50 D cylinder (p
